Conyers Motorcycle Accident Attorney

Offices in Conyers, Covington & Atlanta

Conyers Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Unfortunately, motorcycle accidents are far from rare in Georgia. According to a report published by the Georgia Governor’s Office of Highway Safety, nearly 150 people are killed in motorcycle wrecks in the state each year. Many thousands more innocent bikers sustain very serious injuries in traffic accidents.

Motorcyclists have every right to the road. If a motorcyclist has been injured due to the negligence of another driver, they are entitled to full compensation. Yet, unfortunately, fair compensation can be difficult to recover. The big insurance companies are notoriously hard to work with, especially for motorcyclists, who are forced to face unfair stereotypes.

At MG Law, our Conyers motorcycle accident lawyers help injured bikers get the full settlement offers that they deserve. If you or a loved one was hurt in a motorcycle accident in Northern Georgia, our legal team is standing by, ready to assist you.

The Most Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries

Motorcyclists are inherently exposed. Sadly, when a motorcycle accident does occur, the injuries have the potential to be catastrophic. Nationally, federal government data indicates that almost 5,000 motorcyclists are killed in traffic collisions on an annual basis. As motorcycles continue to become more popular, that number only continues to grow larger. Many other bikers also sustain severe, sometimes even life-changing injuries. Injured Georgia motorcyclists need to be represented by a personal injury attorney who has the skills and experience to get them the full compensation that they deserve. At MG Law, our Conyers motorcycle accident lawyers handle all types of injury claims, including those involving:

Road rash;

Biker’s arm;

Broken bones;

Torn muscles;

Torn and dislocated ligaments;

Severe whiplash;

Back injuries;

Internal bleeding;

Organ injuries;

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs);

Psychological trauma;

Loss of limb;

Spinal cord damage; and

Partial or total paralysis.

We Help Bikers Fight Back Against Unfair Stereotypes

Based on misleading portrayals in popular culture, many people unfairly assume that all motorcyclists are risk-takers and thrill-seekers. As a result, when people find out that a crash occurred between a motorcycle and a standard-sized car, their natural assumption is that the biker must have been the one who was at fault for the accident. However, the data paints a far different picture: according to a well-known, comprehensive study on motorcycle accident called the ‘Hurt Report’, bikers are less likely to be at fault for multi-vehicle accidents than are other motorists.

Indeed, in the ‘Hurt Report’, researchers found that standard-sized vehicles were to blame for approximately 75 percent of the accidents involving both a passenger car and a motorcycle. Many other studies have come to similar conclusions. Yet, despite the overwhelming weight of the evidence, many people, including insurance adjusters, still unfairly stereotype motorcyclists as risky drivers. At MG Law, our Conyers motorcycle accident attorneys help injured bikers fight back against these stereotypes so that they can obtain the full and fair compensation that they deserve.

How to Prove Liability in a Georgia Motorcycle Accident Case

Similar to the majority of U.S. states, Georgia is a ‘fault’ insurance state. This means that a victim needs to prove that another party was to blame for their motorcycle accident in order to establish liability. More specifically, Conyers motorcycle accident claims must typically be brought under Georgia’s comparative fault statute (§ 51-12-33). For motorcycle crash victims, this statute has a couple of important implications. To start, fault is based on negligence. Negligence is generally defined as the failure to take adequate care in the context of a particular situation. Essentially, this means that if another party, usually another driver, did something careless or reckless, and their unsafe conduct contributed to your accident, then you can hold them legally liable for negligence. In practice, negligence in a motorcycle accident case can come in a variety of different forms. Some common examples include:

A driver running a red light or stop sign;

A driver speeding or making reckless maneuvers;

A driver failing to check their mirrors before changing lanes;

Distracted driving, including cell phone use and texting while driving;

Intoxicated driving, including drugged driving and drunk driving; and

Motorcycle manufacturer negligence.

Notably, Georgia is a comparative negligence state. This means that two or more parties can share the liability for the same motorcycle crash. In fact, a Conyers, GA motorcycle accident victim may even be held partially liable for their own wreck. When this happens, the victim’s compensation will be reduced. If the insurance company is trying to blame you for your accident, you need to speak to a legal professional immediately.
